Enzymatic hydroxylation process for the preparation of HMG-COA reductase inhibitors and intermediates thereof.

摘要

An enzymatic hydroxylation process for the preparation of compounds useful as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors and/or as intermediates in the preparation of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors uses a microorganism or an enzyme derived from, or having the structure of an enzyme derived from, said microorganism, which is capable of catalyzing the hydroxylation process.
